Accurate Pricing

There is a lot of competition in the market and it is imperative that you have an
accurate pricing strategy in place. If your property is overpriced you will have
limited showings and days on market will start to accumulate.

This isn’t to insinuate that you have to be the lowest priced property on the market.
You just need to ensure you are priced competitively relative to the comparable
listings and what your property has to offer.

A majority of the property showings you will have will occur during the first month
the property is listed. This is an opportunity that you want to seize upon, as these
are active Buyers in the market.

We will prepare a thoroughly researched market valuation of your property for


you, analyzing all of the comparable property data that is available. This process
will ensure you are properly positioned for success from the outset, ultimately
generating a lot of market activity and strong offers.

Professional Photography

Buyers consistently rate property photos as one of the


most important factors in determining which properties
they ultimately choose to look at. If your property’s
photos are low quality they will make a poor impression
on prospective Buyers and they will pass right by your
listing online.

This is a crucial step considering that over 90% of Buyers


use the Internet as a research resource in the home
buying process. Numerous studies have shown that a
property listings photos will have a considerable impact
on the number of showings you have, time on market and
the quality of offers you receive.

The Coastal Life Realty Group employs a professional


photographer to shoot the property photos for all of our
listings. These high quality images are used throughout
the entire marketing campaign for your property. This
process ensures that your listing stands out from the
competition and makes a positive impression on
prospective Buyers.

Coastal Life Realty Group Office: 443-552-7579 info@coastallifeoc.com CoastalLifeOC.com


Interactive 3-D Virtual Tour

Photographs are static elements and can only


go so far in providing Buyers with the true feel
and flow of a property. To assist with this we
have interactive 3-D virtual tours created for all
of our listings.

These immersive 3-D tours enable Buyers to tour


your property online at anytime from any device
and interact with it much as if they were
physically walking through it. It is essentially like
having a 24/7 open house.

These interactive tours are especially useful in a


second home market like ours where a majority
of the Buyers are several hours away. This 3-D
tour will set your listing apart from the
competition and make it stand out online.

Coastal Life Realty Group Office: 443-552-7579 info@coastallifeoc.com CoastalLifeOC.com


Exclusive Property Website

We will create a website exclusively for your property that highlights all of the preceding marketing materials. This
exclusive website will feature only your listing with no distracting searches or competing properties.

Your listing website will be linked to your property via the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) enabling it to be viewed online
anywhere that your property listing is featured.

Your exclusive listing website will have its own unique web address, which we will use to drive traffic to the website from
your property signage and print advertising pieces.

Coastal Life Realty Group Office: 443-552-7579 info@coastallifeoc.com CoastalLifeOC.com


Multiple Listing Service

The Multiple Listing Service (MLS) is the property database that is


used by real estate agents to research available listings and
property information for their clients. The MLS is also the
primary data source for property information on public real
estate websites like Zillow, Trulia, Realtor.com and others.

Inputting your listing into the MLS is a step that all real estate
agents will perform, however most will go about it haphazardly.
This is a big mistake and a missed opportunity that makes for a
poor first impression on prospective Buyers and cooperating
Realtors.

The Coastal Life Realty Group will first gather all of the marketing
for your property including photography, 3-D virtual tour, website,
etc. We will then input your listing into the MLS with all of the
information at one time. This process ensures that when your
listing is viewed online it looks great and makes a strong
impression.

Coastal Life Realty Group Office: 443-552-7579 info@coastallifeoc.com CoastalLifeOC.com


The Internet and Real Estate

Over 90% of Buyers utilize the Internet as their primary


research resource in the home search process, with over
50% initiating their real estate search online. These
percentages will be considerably higher in a second home
market like ours where prospective Buyers are several
hours away.

It is imperative in today’s real estate market that you


choose an agent that has both a strong online presence
and a comprehensive online marketing strategy in place,
otherwise your listing will miss out on a considerable
number of opportunities.

The Coastal Life Realty Group has a dominant online


presence and a dynamic marketing strategy, which you
will find outlined on the following pages. Both of these
lead to high marketing exposure for all of our listings,
ultimately generating a lot of Buyer activity on the homes
and condos we represent.

Coastal Life Realty Group Office: 443-552-7579 info@coastallifeoc.com CoastalLifeOC.com


Zillow Premier Agents

Zillow is the most popular and highly trafficked real estate website on the Internet. The Coastal Life Realty Group holds
the coveted top spot in Zillow’s Ocean City agent rankings. We have achieved this top ranking through our considerable
market share and by having the best local reviews and highest number of sales.

This top ranking provides additional exposure for the property listings that we represent. All of the marketing is
enhanced for the listings that we represent on Zillow for optimal results. There are a lot of listings on Zillow and this process
ensures your listing stands out from the competition.

Additionally, we generate a considerable number of leads and inquiries from Zillow every month with Buyers who could be
looking for a property similar to yours.

Coastal Life Realty Group Office: 443-552-7579 info@coastallifeoc.com CoastalLifeOC.com


Coastal Life Websites

The Coastal Life Realty Group controls several of the top


performing websites pertaining to real estate in Ocean
City and the surrounding areas. Search for anything
pertaining to Ocean City real estate and you will land on
one of the sites below:

www.CoastalLifeOC.com
www.CoastalLifeDelaware.com

These websites average over 30,000 visits per month


and your listing will be prominently featured on all of
them. Additionally, we generate hundreds of active leads
each month from these websites for Buyers that are
potentially looking for a property similar to yours.

Coastal Life Realty Group Office: 443-552-7579 info@coastallifeoc.com CoastalLifeOC.com


Listing Syndication

Through agreements we have in place your listing will be featured on dozens of other real estate and real estate related
websites across the Internet, including national brokerage sites like Coldwell Banker, Remax, Keller Williams, Berkshire
Hathaway and Long and Foster. If it is a real estate website that matters your property listing will be featured on it.

We will optimize your property listing on these websites with maximum photo uploads, detailed property descriptions,
3-D virtual tours and more. This process generates maximum exposure for your listing online and makes a strong
impression on prospective Buyers.

Coastal Life Realty Group Office: 443-552-7579 info@coastallifeoc.com CoastalLifeOC.com


Targeted Facebook Ads

Facebook is the largest social network in the world with


over one billion users and is the third most trafficked
website behind only Google and YouTube. For these
reasons the Coastal Life Realty Group focuses its social
media marketing efforts on this popular platform.

We create targeted Facebook ads for all of our new


listings. Through Facebook’s marketing tools we are
able to strategically place these new listing ads directly
into the news feeds of people whom are looking for a
property similar to yours.

This has proven to be an effective marketing tool for


our clients and us. We are able to perform this
advertising at a very high level by re-targeting the
30,000 plus website visits we have each month. Few if
any other agents in this market can replicate that.
